plllilp^ &&$M: W I U - D U R i \ N T HERE TONIGHT r i i THE FIGHT VIKINGS^ BEAT CHENEY VOL. XXVII—NO. 15 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, January 27, 1928 WILL MEEI TUESDAY IN TTTLE BATTLE Another Step Will Be Made for the Tri-Normal Championship Game at Whatcom Gym, Wed. SAVAGES ARE VETS Cheney, Like Ellensburg, Makes Big Scores in Games; Present Dope Gives Cheney the Edge. Encountering another obstacle in its race for the Tri-Normal Championship the Vikings will meet the Cheney Savages, Wednesday evening in the Whatcom High Gym, at 8:00 o'clock. Under the tutelage of A. C. Wood-ard a new basketball mentor in Normal circles, the Savages are as yet an unknown quantity. Having played several games like potential champions, their strong five man defense holding opponents to few tallies, while they themselves were running up top heavy scores, the Savages looked to be a title winning outfit. In other contests, however, their defensive play was ragged and they were scored upon at will. The Washington State Frosh, particularly, broke through and won by a large score. ' The members of the Savage quint e t are mostly veterans, West, Hames and Clift being on last year's team. All played regularly last year and are fast clever ball handlers. Moore, a forward of the Cheney championship team of 1925-26, is holding a forward berth and has contributed heavily in the scoring of the Savage five. Moore attended Bellingham last quarter so will be watched with interest by those who knew him. Bennef is a new man at the Eastside school and plays center, while Duvall and Fishback are playing, good games in supporting roles. Both the latter arc experienced men and were on the squad last year. The Viking squad is putting in a hard week of practice, polishing off team play and emphasizing basket shooting. On the late road trio the Normalites were woefully weak on goal throwing but seem out of their "slump" in practice lately. The team to oppose the Cheney basketeers will be picked from Kep-linger, Harper McClurken, forwards; Thorsen, Erickson, centers; Benson, Clark, Jewell, and Isaacson, guards. 'Snaps!" Snaps, Snappy Snapshot Shooter for a Snappier Annual Fisher Attends Seattle Meeting Normal Prexies President Fisher attended a meeting in Seattle at which the boards of trustees and presidents of all Washington Normals were present. Various topics pertaining to the work of three institutions were brought up. A good deal of the discussion was on the training of the junior high school teachers and a study is to be made of the training the present teachers have and the standards that should be set up for teachers of such schools; The raising of the standard for teachers' diplomas was discussed and the granting of the elementary diploma based on two years work, good for a period of two years and not renewable was favored. At present, a diploma may be received after two years work which entitles the possessor to a five-year renewal, which way be converted into a life diploma. Under the new plan, a two-year preparation would be good for two years only and another year would be required to make the student a full-fledged teacher. A student could, however, teach two years and then come back to finish the three year requirement. In short, the standard would be-s raised f rora -/a minimum two years to a minimum three years. Whether or not the summer session should be made a six week term rather than the present full quarter was brought. up for discussion, but was not settled. Some schools favored the idea and the subject will be brought up again at the next annual meeting. Snap snap—ginger snaps, snap classes, snap-snap your hair's cut— snappy snapshots for the Klipsun. That's what Roy Arnett, snapshot editor, is howling for. His collection at present is^ interesting and fairly representative but not numerous enough for Ms soaring ambitions, since this year two1 extra pages will be devoted to interesting pictures of school life, in the annual. An annual in its fundamental purpose should reflect the school life of the students. No better chance is given for the editors to perform their duty than in the section of kodak pictures. Turn 'em in! See your picture in print! Snap the girlfriend when her. nose is shining—the boy-friend when he needs a haircut— the faculty member when he fears the camera most—honestly and truly, the Klipsun staff promises you they will appear—if really clear, for the boai;d of censors is big-hearted. Ellensburg Puts Crimpi in Viking Title Aspirations by Decisive Win Displaying a woefully weak offense, which was able to net but one field goal, the Bellingham Normal Vikings received a sound drubbing at the hands of the Ellensburg team last night at the Fairhaven «gym. With the reversal the local cagers received a severe setback to any Tri- Normal title hopes which they had been nursing. The final score of the contest was 1 7 to 6. - - Throughout the game the powerful Wildcat quintet functioned with a smoothness of an experienced team. Both teams had difficulty in locating the basket, but the easterners maintained a lead which at no time was threatened. Individually, they were a team of fast men with exceptional dribbling and floor ability.. The showing made by Bellingham was disappointing to say the least. The passing was wild and any semblance of team work was not in evidence. Inability to penetrate the Ellensburg defense contributed most to the Viking downfall.. Both teams played a close checking game as is evidenced by the score. Junior Messenger of Training School MakesAppearance "The Junior Messenger," semi-annual publication of the Eighth grade training school class, appeared with che end of the semester this week. An advance copy presented to the Messenger displays much work and presents a pleasing appearance. The "Messenger" this semester, is a twenty-four page pamphlet, J)Vfcx 0% inches, which greets the reader with a photograph of a reporter's snow figUt on the campus, xhe arrangement of the paper is carefully pianned witli aim to give the news oi the semester, in an organized manner. Ihe divisions are: .Editorials, assemblies, activities, news irom the grades, poet's corner, story hour, and aiumni notes. In the main, the editorial staff was responsible for the edition of the •Junior Messenger, with the exception of the details of proof-reading and make-up. Weekly meetings of the editorial council were held, at which times the policies of the paper were discussed and summaries of work done were made by reporters. At these meetings the stories of famous editors and reporters were also discussed, so that a keener insight could be had into the work of a newspaper. These meetings were conducted by the editor, John Shiels. The work done in connection with the paper, according to Miss Bertha Crawford, training teacher in the eighth grade who supervised the work, has been very beneficial in English, expression, and composition work. A regular newspaper style was used in the writing of stories, and usually all written reports of assemblies were done in news form. In addition to the regular news items,, the paper contains many poems, prominent among these being "Harvest Thoughts" by the eighth (Continued on Page Two) Y.W.G.A. MEMBERS SPONSOR INSTITUTE FOR BIBLE LEARNING Satler and Campbell Lead Bible Institute; Meetings Appreciated Sunday Meetings Interest Many The meeting Sunday afternoon of the Bible Institute sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. of the Normal school closed a successful program of meetings and also the twenty-first consecutive meeting of the institute in this school. Dr. Georgia Satler of Seattle, a well known Bible Institute teacher, led the main discussions, aided by Mrs. Campbell, also of Seattle. Dr. Georgia Satler, of Seattls, who conducts Bible teachings in leading towns of the Northwest, gained much favor with the Y. W. C. A., workers here this time, as she has previously Miss Dorothy Bidlake, a recently returned missionary from Kansu, China, was unable to attend the meetings here because of conflicting program. Although the girls missed Miss Bidlake whom they regard as a very interesting speaker, they appreciated the opportunity of becoming acquainted with Mrs. Campbell, also of Seattle. Interest Taken Meetings opened Thursday afternoon, and were held every afternoon and evening until Sunday afternoon. The Y. W. C. A. girls, other students of the Normal and people residing in Bellingham attended :the. meetings and each one gained individual benefits. The discussion Sunday afternoon on "Group Prayer", delivered by Mrs. Campbell, carried a valuable aspect for everyone. Dr. Satler gave an interesting account of a trip to Los Angeles this summer with entering students of the Bible Institute there, in faithful -'William". She noted many experiences that had been affected outstandingly by the will of God. Georges Enesco, Rumanian Violinist Pleases Audience Tuesday, Jan. 24 The appearance of Georges Enesco, Roumanian violinist Tuesday evening in the Christian church, was an event that will long be remembered by those of the capacity audience who attended. Hailed as a real master of the instrument, Enesco gave a superb exhibition of the art in violin playing and held his audience as few artists have ever done here in a program that was admirably suited to his technique. Appearing in the second number of the 1927-28 Musical Artists course, sponsored by the Normal and the Bellingham Women's Music club, Enesco easily lived up to the high standard set by his predecessors during the last few years and set a new high level for performance on the violin. The artistes program, composed largely of numbers from modern composers, Avas excellently selected, and allowed full play to Enesco's type of artist. ''The opening num: her, Nardim's "Sonata in D Major" immediately won the heart of the audience, and\ while slightly heavy ofr a student-public crowd, was generously applauded and encored. The third movement of the sonata especially the larghetto, proved beyond a doubt the famous European's mastery of tone and feeling. Chausson's "Pome", Enesco' second number while, too, of the heavier type of selection saw him reach his full power as a master of technique. He'gradually-increased in effectiveness in his third group composed of Corelli's "Fplies d' Espagne" and the '•Introduction and Cappricioso" of Saint Saens. He was recalled for two numbers and was called back for two encores in which he reached the peak of his performance. The second of these encores "Going Home" from Dvorak's New World Symphony, was especially well received. In his closing number, Sarasate's "'Zieguncrweisen", Enesco combined liis talents to give a masterful finishing touch to the whole. program and succeeded in reaching the height of his power. \ ORIENTAL PROBLEMS ARE EXPLAINED BY CHINESE LECTURER Major Huang, Militarist, Diplomat, and Speaker, Gives Outline of Present Eastern Conditions. EVENTSJALENDAR Subject of Departmental Clubs Holding All-school Affairs is Hashed Over but Left in Raw. WHAT'S TO BE DONE? Plans for Re-organization ' Still in Balance; Discussion Results in no Definite Action by Council. In two appearances at the Normal during his brief stay in Bellingham, Tien Lai Huang, officer of the Nationalistic army, and authority on Chinese affairs, brought out many hew, little-known facts concerning the condition of China today. Monday night, before an audience of approximately 800, Huang spoke on the subject "The Present Condition of China", favorably impressing his audience with the material contained in the lecture. Tuesday morning, before the upper grades of the training school, Huang spoke of the. children of his nation, telling of their movements to better the country by public and personal health education, by anti-cosmetic societies among the girls and by education of better feeling towards all nations and mankind. Opening his first address with an explanation of the Chinese customs, culture, art, and race, Huang stated that the culture of his land is 5,000 years old, that the present day customs of the people are the derivitives of these ages of writing and art, and that until comparatively recently the Chinese regarded themselves as the only civilized people. The American conception of the Chinese and the American ideas of the Eastern race are, according to the lecturer, as amusing as they are unreasonable. The American, according to the Chinese, has given China the Standard Oil Company; the American Tobacco Co.; and the missionaries. On the other hand, the Orientals have donated to Western civilization laundrymen, chop suey restaurants, and students. Both are wrong Huang asserted. The students occupy a prominent place in the government of China, Huang said. Leaders in the revolution of 1911 were students and the present day good roads movement, public health campaigns, and other such lines of endeavor are, in the main, conducted by students.. Last year over 7,000 miles of paved roads were built by these students and a highway from Peking to Berlin by way of the Gobi desert a distance of (Continued on Page Four) MARY LEWIS WILL NOT APPEAR HERE Mary Lewis, soprano with the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York, originally scheduled to appear as the third number of the Musical Artist's course on February 1, has cancelled her engagement and Avill not sing in Bellingham this year. This action is the result of being called from her concert tour by ,the Metropolitan Opera Company which has required her to cancel all engagements north of San Francisco. President Fisher states that another similar number will be substituted. It has not been definitely decided who will appear in place of Miss Lewis. Florence Austral, Australian soprano, is mentioned as a possible choice. At a boresomely inefficient meeting of the Student Organization Council Monday night, the calendar of events for the quarter was ratified, after having been delayed three weeks. The right of departmental clubs to hold all-school affairs was mildly debated, and the meeting adjourned with nothing accomplished save the ratification of a hacked-up calendar, . and the rejection of all plans for the reorganization of- the council tiself. The calendar for the winter- quarter, as it now stands, much different from its first form, is as follows: February 3—Freshman Class party. February 4—Campire Girls. February 10—Vanadis Bragi. February 11 —• Alkisiah; Women's League. February 17—Thespians: Gavel and -Pulpit. February 18—Upper Classmen. February 24 and 25—Drama Club play. March 2—W. A. A. March 3—Edens Hall. March 9 and 10—Artist Course numbers. March 10—Philo banquet. Joel Gudmundson, chairman of the calendar committee, after making a complaint concerning the manner in which the clubs submit request for dates, moved that a committee be appointed to draw up a form of request. These reqeusts, when filled out by the clubs, will be turned in to the Council the last week of the quarter proceeding that in which the date falls. The motion was passed, and Harry Hale, Lenore White, and Vernon Vine were appointed as members of the committee. The question was raised by Clifford Duncan representative of the Social Science club, regarding the right of departmental clubs to hold all-school affairs. Following an explanation by Miss Rosene, in which it was brought out that clubs desiring to hold such affairs could appeal to the faculty committee for permission, the motion was killed. A roll call vote as to the ratification of the three plans for the reorganization of the council, revealed fourteen clubs against any plan, with three clubs splitting their votes between two of the suggestions. President Raymond Bright instructed the present committee to continue the work done as to reorganization, and turned over to it the suggestion submitted by the Freshman class, which as yet is the only substitute suggested for the renounced plans. * o • * Mary C . Woodbridge a former student of the Bellingham Normal, who graduted in 1926, is now a partner in the Garrott and Woodbridge Book Store, on University Way, Seattle. "Is Progress A Delusion?" Is To Be Will Durant's Subject The Fate of Civilization to be Openly Discussed bjr Well Known Philosopher Who Appears at Normal School as Outstanding Lecture Course Number. Noted Authority on Australia to Lecture Tuesday Miss Anne Abel Henderson will speak in Tuesday's assembly on Australasia and American relations to those countries. Miss Henderson is well fitted for the talk as she has studied her subject thoroughly and has talked in the Australasian countries a number of times. She has been a faculty member of the following -well known schools: Kansas ' State University, Cornell University,. Yale University, as well as having written a number of books. Her "The History of Events Resulting in Indian Consolidation West of the Mississippi," Avon the Justin Winsor prize in 1906. • Her talk should be of vital interest when one considers that the march of civilization has ever been west in white countries and the only white countries west of the United States are the Australasian group. The Australasian people have done much and are still progressing rapidly. They have progressed to about the same level as Canada in approximately one-half the time Canada has. The future cities of this newest of all continents have been carefully planned and the population, contrary to general opinion is not one that is backward or of convict type. New Zealand already produces about one-half the wool used in the United States. The country is rich in water and minei'al power and its climate is said to rival our imaginations of a paradise. o CLIFFORD NEWDALL MAKES HIS DEBUT On January 10, Clifford Newdall, formei'ly an instructor at the Bellingham Normal, made his debut in the role of Faust, at the Century Theater, the largest in New York City. Mr. Newdall scored distinct success,' and the New York critics were exceedingly kind to him. He received special praise from Samuel Chotzinoff of the New York World, one of the severest of critics. Chotzinoff especially commended him upon his artistic acting and for the magnetism of his personality, and stage presence. In a letter which Miss Olive Edens received from Newdall, after the successful opening, he mentioned the fact that Miss Gunther, who taught in the Industrial Arts department last year, Hprtense Yule, a former Normal student, and Miss Frank also a former instructor here, were in the audience at his first appearance. The company will play in New York for six weeks. They have engagements in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Chicago. Mr. Newdall plans to be in Bellingham this summer. Freshmen Receive Lurid "Earmarks" When They Journey to Points South About the school two individuals walk whose names are politely, as well as diplomatically withheld, for reasons which will later be evident. However both of the FRESHMEN are easily distinguished by several outstanding earmarks of catastrophe. The masculine features of both are now, as they have been for four days, adorned with looks bordering on the far side of sheepishness combined with deep lines of hunger, hardship, and privations. In addition to these evidences of disaster, the larger of the two wears, on his right eye, or perhaps it's his left, a badge of deep distress, to say nothing of mourning. Having here related the consequences of the dire folly upon which the foolhardy boys embarked, a history of the case may not be out of order, so: Feeling the call of the open road, these two aforementioned students, upon notice to themselves of approximately an hour, set out for Sockeye, Clayton Bay, and points south, among which are Seattle and Mercer Island. Herein lies the tragedy, for alas, the destinations were unfortunately reached. More than this however, we do not know. How the deepty, darkly hued eye-came into being is not definitely known. Why three days beginning Saturday morning were needed to consummate the journey is also a mystery. And as. to the various (as they must have been) incidents of the trip we can only hazard a guess. This Friday night, in the Normal School Auditorium, Dr. Will Durant will give a lecture, "Is Progress A Delusion?" as a regular number on this season's lecture course. Will Durant has had varied experiences and comes as one well prepared to discuss questions dealing with philosophy. Dr. Durant has been' an instructor of philosophy in Columbia University, the school where he received his Ph.D. degree The Fate Of Civilization What is the fate of our civilization? What are the arguments for the reality of progress? Will Durant will answer these questions and also tell of recent pessimistic opinions dealing with 'Ts Progress a Delusion?" Is man ascending? Dr. man, but is man ascending? Dr. Will Durant doesn't claim to be able to absolutely answer these questions, but lie has done a great deal of research work and feels that he has the right to discuss such interrogations. He comes as a man with an open mind. "Dr. Durant, like the late William James is virtually the ideal of an educated man. So lightly and gracefully does his knowledge sit upon him that instead of crushing, it humanizes him, to our great joy and profit." Henry Forman in the N. Y. Times. V K V N OFF F i l l DMG HRST M TOP OF YEAR Normal Hoopers Drop Games over Week-end to U. of W. Frosh and Fast St. Martin's Rangers. Getting off to a left-footed start in collegiate competition when their offense failed to function properly, the Yiking varsity hoopsters dropped two games over the week-end on their first road trip of the year—one to the University of Washington Freshmen 38-25, Friday, and the other at Seattle to St Martin's college, Saturday, at Lacey, 25-17. The team as a whole played mediocre bell and appeared badly off form showing an entire reversal of form from that of two weeks before, when the fast Heater Glove five, of Seattle, was easily beaten. The Frosh encounter started off with a bang, but before it had- gone far, the Husky Babes were in the lead. With Rutherford and' Twilr liger leading the offense, the Yearlings had little difficulty in maintaining a safe advantage all though the contest. The Vikings, after the first few minutes played sluggishly, failing to register consistently from the field and giving a very ordinary exhibition. Substitutions failed to work any miracles and the Frosh could not be headed, scoring frequently. No Normal player could be said to be outstanding. Bellingham (25) Freshmen (38) Keplinger 4 F. .

XXVII—NO. 15 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, January 27, 1928 WILL MEEI TUESDAY IN TTTLE BATTLE Another Step Will Be Made for the Tri-Normal Championship Game at Whatcom Gym, Wed. SAVAGES ARE VETS Cheney, Like Ellensburg, Makes Big Scores in Games; Present Dope Gives Cheney the Edge. Encountering another obstacle in its race for the Tri-Normal Championship the Vikings will meet the Cheney Savages, Wednesday evening in the Whatcom High Gym, at 8:00 o'clock. Under the tutelage of A. C. Wood-ard a new basketball mentor in Normal circles, the Savages are as yet an unknown quantity. Having played several games like potential champions, their strong five man defense holding opponents to few tallies, while they themselves were running up top heavy scores, the Savages looked to be a title winning outfit.

Snaps, Snappy Snapshot Shooter for a Snappier Annual Fisher Attends Seattle Meeting Normal Prexies President Fisher attended a meeting in Seattle at which the boards of trustees and presidents of all Washington Normals were present. Various topics pertaining to the work of three institutions were brought up. A good deal of the discussion was on the training of the junior high school teachers and a study is to be made of the training the present teachers have and the standards that should be set up for teachers of such schools; The raising of the standard for teachers' diplomas was discussed and the granting of the elementary diploma based on two years work, good for a period of two years and not renewable was favored. At present, a diploma may be received after two years work which entitles the possessor to a five-year renewal, which way be converted into a life diploma. Under the new plan, a two-year preparation would be good for two years only and another year would be required to make the student a full-fledged teacher. A student could, however, teach two years and then come back to finish the three year requirement. In short, the standard would be-s raised f rora -/a minimum two years to a minimum three years. Whether or not the summer session should be made a six week term rather than the present full quarter was brought. up for discussion, but was not settled. Some schools favored the idea and the subject will be brought up again at the next annual meeting. Snap snap—ginger snaps, snap classes, snap-snap your hair's cut— snappy snapshots for the Klipsun. That's what Roy Arnett, snapshot editor, is howling for. His collection at present is^ interesting and fairly representative but not numerous enough for Ms soaring ambitions, since this year two1 extra pages will be devoted to interesting pictures of school life, in the annual. An annual in its fundamental purpose should reflect the school life of the students. No better chance is given for the editors to perform their duty than in the section of kodak pictures. Turn 'em in! See your picture in print! Snap the girlfriend when her. nose is shining—the boy-friend when he needs a haircut— the faculty member when he fears the camera most—honestly and truly, the Klipsun staff promises you they will appear—if really clear, for the boai;d of censors is big-hearted. Ellensburg Puts Crimpi in Viking Title Aspirations by Decisive Win Displaying a woefully weak offense, which was able to net but one field goal, the Bellingham Normal Vikings received a sound drubbing at the hands of the Ellensburg team last night at the Fairhaven «gym. With the reversal the local cagers received a severe setback to any Tri- Normal title hopes which they had been nursing. The final score of the contest was 1 7 to 6. - - Throughout the game the powerful Wildcat quintet functioned with a smoothness of an experienced team. Both teams had difficulty in locating the basket, but the easterners maintained a lead which at no time was threatened. Individually, they were a team of fast men with exceptional dribbling and floor ability.. The showing made by Bellingham was disappointing to say the least. The passing was wild and any semblance of team work was not in evidence. Inability to penetrate the Ellensburg defense contributed most to the Viking downfall.. Both teams played a close checking game as is evidenced by the score. Junior Messenger of Training School MakesAppearance "The Junior Messenger," semi-annual publication of the Eighth grade training school class, appeared with che end of the semester this week. An advance copy presented to the Messenger displays much work and presents a pleasing appearance. The "Messenger" this semester, is a twenty-four page pamphlet, J)Vfcx 0% inches, which greets the reader with a photograph of a reporter's snow figUt on the campus, xhe arrangement of the paper is carefully pianned witli aim to give the news oi the semester, in an organized manner. Ihe divisions are: .Editorials, assemblies, activities, news irom the grades, poet's corner, story hour, and aiumni notes. In the main, the editorial staff was responsible for the edition of the •Junior Messenger, with the exception of the details of proof-reading and make-up. Weekly meetings of the editorial council were held, at which times the policies of the paper were discussed and summaries of work done were made by reporters. At these meetings the stories of famous editors and reporters were also discussed, so that a keener insight could be had into the work of a newspaper. These meetings were conducted by the editor, John Shiels. The work done in connection with the paper, according to Miss Bertha Crawford, training teacher in the eighth grade who supervised the work, has been very beneficial in English, expression, and composition work. A regular newspaper style was used in the writing of stories, and usually all written reports of assemblies were done in news form. In addition to the regular news items,, the paper contains many poems, prominent among these being "Harvest Thoughts" by the eighth (Continued on Page Two) Y.W.G.A. MEMBERS SPONSOR INSTITUTE FOR BIBLE LEARNING Satler and Campbell Lead Bible Institute; Meetings Appreciated Sunday Meetings Interest Many The meeting Sunday afternoon of the Bible Institute sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. of the Normal school closed a successful program of meetings and also the twenty-first consecutive meeting of the institute in this school. Dr. Georgia Satler of Seattle, a well known Bible Institute teacher, led the main discussions, aided by Mrs. Campbell, also of Seattle. Dr. Georgia Satler, of Seattls, who conducts Bible teachings in leading towns of the Northwest, gained much favor with the Y. W. C. A., workers here this time, as she has previously Miss Dorothy Bidlake, a recently returned missionary from Kansu, China, was unable to attend the meetings here because of conflicting program. Although the girls missed Miss Bidlake whom they regard as a very interesting speaker, they appreciated the opportunity of becoming acquainted with Mrs. Campbell, also of Seattle. Interest Taken Meetings opened Thursday afternoon, and were held every afternoon and evening until Sunday afternoon. The Y. W. C. A. girls, other students of the Normal and people residing in Bellingham attended :the. meetings and each one gained individual benefits. The discussion Sunday afternoon on "Group Prayer", delivered by Mrs. Campbell, carried a valuable aspect for everyone. Dr. Satler gave an interesting account of a trip to Los Angeles this summer with entering students of the Bible Institute there, in faithful -'William". She noted many experiences that had been affected outstandingly by the will of God. Georges Enesco, Rumanian Violinist Pleases Audience Tuesday, Jan. 24 The appearance of Georges Enesco, Roumanian violinist Tuesday evening in the Christian church, was an event that will long be remembered by those of the capacity audience who attended. Hailed as a real master of the instrument, Enesco gave a superb exhibition of the art in violin playing and held his audience as few artists have ever done here in a program that was admirably suited to his technique. Appearing in the second number of the 1927-28 Musical Artists course, sponsored by the Normal and the Bellingham Women's Music club, Enesco easily lived up to the high standard set by his predecessors during the last few years and set a new high level for performance on the violin. The artistes program, composed largely of numbers from modern composers, Avas excellently selected, and allowed full play to Enesco's type of artist. ''The opening num: her, Nardim's "Sonata in D Major" immediately won the heart of the audience, and\ while slightly heavy ofr a student-public crowd, was generously applauded and encored. The third movement of the sonata especially the larghetto, proved beyond a doubt the famous European's mastery of tone and feeling. Chausson's "Pome", Enesco' second number while, too, of the heavier type of selection saw him reach his full power as a master of technique. He'gradually-increased in effectiveness in his third group composed of Corelli's "Fplies d' Espagne" and the '•Introduction and Cappricioso" of Saint Saens. He was recalled for two numbers and was called back for two encores in which he reached the peak of his performance. The second of these encores "Going Home" from Dvorak's New World Symphony, was especially well received. In his closing number, Sarasate's "'Zieguncrweisen", Enesco combined liis talents to give a masterful finishing touch to the whole. program and succeeded in reaching the height of his power. \ ORIENTAL PROBLEMS ARE EXPLAINED BY CHINESE LECTURER Major Huang, Militarist, Diplomat, and Speaker, Gives Outline of Present Eastern Conditions. EVENTSJALENDAR Subject of Departmental Clubs Holding All-school Affairs is Hashed Over but Left in Raw. WHAT'S TO BE DONE? Plans for Re-organization ' Still in Balance; Discussion Results in no Definite Action by Council. In two appearances at the Normal during his brief stay in Bellingham, Tien Lai Huang, officer of the Nationalistic army, and authority on Chinese affairs, brought out many hew, little-known facts concerning the condition of China today. Monday night, before an audience of approximately 800, Huang spoke on the subject "The Present Condition of China", favorably impressing his audience with the material contained in the lecture. Tuesday morning, before the upper grades of the training school, Huang spoke of the. children of his nation, telling of their movements to better the country by public and personal health education, by anti-cosmetic societies among the girls and by education of better feeling towards all nations and mankind. Opening his first address with an explanation of the Chinese customs, culture, art, and race, Huang stated that the culture of his land is 5,000 years old, that the present day customs of the people are the derivitives of these ages of writing and art, and that until comparatively recently the Chinese regarded themselves as the only civilized people. The American conception of the Chinese and the American ideas of the Eastern race are, according to the lecturer, as amusing as they are unreasonable. The American, according to the Chinese, has given China the Standard Oil Company; the American Tobacco Co.; and the missionaries. On the other hand, the Orientals have donated to Western civilization laundrymen, chop suey restaurants, and students. Both are wrong Huang asserted. The students occupy a prominent place in the government of China, Huang said. Leaders in the revolution of 1911 were students and the present day good roads movement, public health campaigns, and other such lines of endeavor are, in the main, conducted by students.. Last year over 7,000 miles of paved roads were built by these students and a highway from Peking to Berlin by way of the Gobi desert a distance of (Continued on Page Four) MARY LEWIS WILL NOT APPEAR HERE Mary Lewis, soprano with the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York, originally scheduled to appear as the third number of the Musical Artist's course on February 1, has cancelled her engagement and Avill not sing in Bellingham this year. This action is the result of being called from her concert tour by ,the Metropolitan Opera Company which has required her to cancel all engagements north of San Francisco. President Fisher states that another similar number will be substituted. It has not been definitely decided who will appear in place of Miss Lewis. Florence Austral, Australian soprano, is mentioned as a possible choice. At a boresomely inefficient meeting of the Student Organization Council Monday night, the calendar of events for the quarter was ratified, after having been delayed three weeks. The right of departmental clubs to hold all-school affairs was mildly debated, and the meeting adjourned with nothing accomplished save the ratification of a hacked-up calendar, . and the rejection of all plans for the reorganization of- the council tiself. The calendar for the winter- quarter, as it now stands, much different from its first form, is as follows: February 3—Freshman Class party. February 4—Campire Girls. February 10—Vanadis Bragi. February 11 —• Alkisiah; Women's League. February 17—Thespians: Gavel and -Pulpit. February 18—Upper Classmen. February 24 and 25—Drama Club play. March 2—W. A. A. March 3—Edens Hall. March 9 and 10—Artist Course numbers. March 10—Philo banquet. Joel Gudmundson, chairman of the calendar committee, after making a complaint concerning the manner in which the clubs submit request for dates, moved that a committee be appointed to draw up a form of request. These reqeusts, when filled out by the clubs, will be turned in to the Council the last week of the quarter proceeding that in which the date falls. The motion was passed, and Harry Hale, Lenore White, and Vernon Vine were appointed as members of the committee. The question was raised by Clifford Duncan representative of the Social Science club, regarding the right of departmental clubs to hold all-school affairs. Following an explanation by Miss Rosene, in which it was brought out that clubs desiring to hold such affairs could appeal to the faculty committee for permission, the motion was killed. A roll call vote as to the ratification of the three plans for the reorganization of the council, revealed fourteen clubs against any plan, with three clubs splitting their votes between two of the suggestions. President Raymond Bright instructed the present committee to continue the work done as to reorganization, and turned over to it the suggestion submitted by the Freshman class, which as yet is the only substitute suggested for the renounced plans. * o • * Mary C .

Is To Be Will Durant's Subject The Fate of Civilization to be Openly Discussed bjr Well Known Philosopher Who Appears at Normal School as Outstanding Lecture Course Number. Noted Authority on Australia to Lecture Tuesday Miss Anne Abel Henderson will speak in Tuesday's assembly on Australasia and American relations to those countries. Miss Henderson is well fitted for the talk as she has studied her subject thoroughly and has talked in the Australasian countries a number of times. She has been a faculty member of the following -well known schools: Kansas ' State University, Cornell University,. Yale University, as well as having written a number of books. Her "The History of Events Resulting in Indian Consolidation West of the Mississippi," Avon the Justin Winsor prize in 1906. • Her talk should be of vital interest when one considers that the march of civilization has ever been west in white countries and the only white countries west of the United States are the Australasian group. The Australasian people have done much and are still progressing rapidly. They have progressed to about the same level as Canada in approximately one-half the time Canada has. The future cities of this newest of all continents have been carefully planned and the population, contrary to general opinion is not one that is backward or of convict type. New Zealand already produces about one-half the wool used in the United States. The country is rich in water and minei'al power and its climate is said to rival our imaginations of a paradise. o CLIFFORD NEWDALL MAKES HIS DEBUT On January 10, Clifford Newdall, formei'ly an instructor at the Bellingham Normal, made his debut in the role of Faust, at the Century Theater, the largest in New York City. Mr. Newdall scored distinct success,' and the New York critics were exceedingly kind to him. He received special praise from Samuel Chotzinoff of the New York World, one of the severest of critics. Chotzinoff especially commended him upon his artistic acting and for the magnetism of his personality, and stage presence. In a letter which Miss Olive Edens received from Newdall, after the successful opening, he mentioned the fact that Miss Gunther, who taught in the Industrial Arts department last year, Hprtense Yule, a former Normal student, and Miss Frank also a former instructor here, were in the audience at his first appearance. The company will play in New York for six weeks. They have engagements in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Chicago. Mr. Newdall plans to be in Bellingham this summer. Freshmen Receive Lurid "Earmarks" When They Journey to Points South About the school two individuals walk whose names are politely, as well as diplomatically withheld, for reasons which will later be evident. However both of the FRESHMEN are easily distinguished by several outstanding earmarks of catastrophe. The masculine features of both are now, as they have been for four days, adorned with looks bordering on the far side of sheepishness combined with deep lines of hunger, hardship, and privations. In addition to these evidences of disaster, the larger of the two wears, on his right eye, or perhaps it's his left, a badge of deep distress, to say nothing of mourning. Having here related the consequences of the dire folly upon which the foolhardy boys embarked, a history of the case may not be out of order, so: Feeling the call of the open road, these two aforementioned students, upon notice to themselves of approximately an hour, set out for Sockeye, Clayton Bay, and points south, among which are Seattle and Mercer Island. Herein lies the tragedy, for alas, the destinations were unfortunately reached. More than this however, we do not know. How the deepty, darkly hued eye-came into being is not definitely known. Why three days beginning Saturday morning were needed to consummate the journey is also a mystery. And as. to the various (as they must have been) incidents of the trip we can only hazard a guess. This Friday night, in the Normal School Auditorium, Dr. Will Durant will give a lecture, "Is Progress A Delusion?" as a regular number on this season's lecture course. Will Durant has had varied experiences and comes as one well prepared to discuss questions dealing with philosophy. Dr. Durant has been' an instructor of philosophy in Columbia University, the school where he received his Ph.D. degree The Fate Of Civilization What is the fate of our civilization? What are the arguments for the reality of progress? Will Durant will answer these questions and also tell of recent pessimistic opinions dealing with 'Ts Progress a Delusion?" Is man ascending? Dr. man, but is man ascending? Dr. Will Durant doesn't claim to be able to absolutely answer these questions, but lie has done a great deal of research work and feels that he has the right to discuss such interrogations. He comes as a man with an open mind. "Dr. Durant, like the late William James is virtually the ideal of an educated man. So lightly and gracefully does his knowledge sit upon him that instead of crushing, it humanizes him, to our great joy and profit." Henry Forman in the N. Y. Times. V K V N OFF F i l l DMG HRST M TOP OF YEAR Normal Hoopers Drop Games over Week-end to U. of W. Frosh and Fast St. Martin's Rangers. Getting off to a left-footed start in collegiate competition when their offense failed to function properly, the Yiking varsity hoopsters dropped two games over the week-end on their first road trip of the year—one to the University of Washington Freshmen 38-25, Friday, and the other at Seattle to St Martin's college, Saturday, at Lacey, 25-17. The team as a whole played mediocre bell and appeared badly off form showing an entire reversal of form from that of two weeks before, when the fast Heater Glove five, of Seattle, was easily beaten. The Frosh encounter started off with a bang, but before it had- gone far, the Husky Babes were in the lead. With Rutherford and' Twilr liger leading the offense, the Yearlings had little difficulty in maintaining a safe advantage all though the contest. The Vikings, after the first few minutes played sluggishly, failing to register consistently from the field and giving a very ordinary exhibition. Substitutions failed to work any miracles and the Frosh could not be headed, scoring frequently. No Normal player could be said to be outstanding. Bellingham (25) Freshmen (38) Keplinger 4 F. .
